Chapter 120: Also called Xiao Qingqing?
Just when Xia Qingqing thought that no one would come, a loud noise came from the door.
"Is this the place? It doesn't seem like it's so quiet."
"Yeah, why is it so quiet? Are you kidding us?"
"Be careful with your words, she's the princess. Even if the princess is playing a trick on us, it's our honor!!"
The person who spoke immediately covered his mouth, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see anyone. However, the sigh didn't last long before it was raised again.
Because Xia Qingqing saw them and shouted loudly from above.
"Are you guys here to watch the show too? Hurry up and stand up."
The platform is very big, and can accommodate about two to three hundred people. You can actually sit down there, but the view from below is not that good.
Seeing that the princess was up there and their voices were very loud, that meant that they had heard what they had just said, right?
"See Your Highness the Princess."
Later they found out that the emperor and the empress were both there, and they were terribly disappointed, fearing that they would not be able to escape death.
"See your Majesty, the Queen."
They knelt down nervously. Xia Xuan didn't let them get up, so they could only continue kneeling. It was obvious that he heard what they just said and was angry.
Xia Qingqing held Xia Xuan's hand with her little hand, tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "Daddy, we are about to start, let them watch?"
I have told the people in the palace in advance that all the palace maids can go to the training ground to watch the show, and no one will blame them on this day.
Moreover, days like this will continue for several days in a row to ensure that everyone can celebrate the New Year.
Xia Qingqing had already spoken up for him, so Xia Xuan couldn't just ignore his precious daughter, so he waved his hand and asked them to get up.
Seeing this, Xia Qingqing wanted to ask them to sit down behind her and watch, but how could they dare to do that? She hurriedly said.
"No need, Princess. We servants can just sit down below. Thank you for your kindness, Princess."
It was not their fault. After all, such thoughts were already deeply rooted in their minds. She did not force them and let them go.
They went downstairs and sat down, obviously relieved, as they were just scared to death.
Palace maids and eunuchs kept coming in from the door. Xia Qingqing wanted to ask them to come upstairs, but they all went downstairs and there was nothing she could do.
Later, Xia Zhao and the princes arrived late. Xia Yun looked at Xia Qingqing waving at them from above and walked forward carelessly.
"Sister, why is it so quiet here? This doesn't seem like a lively place like you said."
Because except for where they were standing on the platform, everywhere else was dark and they couldn't see anything at all.
Xia Qingqing said mysteriously, "It's a secret, you'll know it later."
“Oh, you are still playing mysterious to me, believe it or not…Ahhhhh, Father, Father, why are you here?!”
He reached out and pinched Xia Qingqing's face, and when he glanced inadvertently, he saw Xia Xuan sitting there. Xia Yun was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue.
After reacting, he quickly saluted, and the princes behind him who were a step slower than Xia Yun also saluted.
Xia Xuan looked at Xia Yun's lavish hands and feet, and thought of the way he pinched Xia Qingqing just now. It seemed that he had done this often in the past?
He thinks it's great that the siblings are in harmony, but the fifth child is the most ignorant. What if he accidentally pinches Nannan's face and hurts her?
But considering that today was the day Xia Qingqing was looking forward to, she didn't bother with him. She snorted coldly and told them to get up.
Xia Yun rushed over and sat down next to Xiao Yihan, which really scared him to death. His face was filled with worry. At this time, Xia Mu came over to stab him.
"Fifth brother, seeing how you were just now, you may not be able to leave the palace for a while!"
This really touched his heart, and his face turned even darker. Xia Mu just liked teasing this guy, and all kinds of expressions showed on his face, which was very funny.
"Why haven't the concubines come yet? Could it be that they don't like the banquet held by the princess?"
Xia Xuan asked the eunuch Li beside him calmly. Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of anger in his voice. Eunuch Li was hunched over anxiously beside him.
"Your Majesty, I will go and urge them."
Eunuch Li wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xia Qingqing, who shook his head at Xia Xuan.
"Daddy, no, my daughter said she came here voluntarily. It's okay if she doesn't want to come. It's their bad luck anyway."
Xia Xuan wanted to say something else. Wasn't he afraid that there were too few people and Xia Qingqing would be disappointed? Looking at Xia Qingqing who was insisting, he finally gave up.
"Forget it. It's up to you." He stretched out his hand and pinched her little face. It felt quite comfortable.
Xia Qingqing saw that most people had arrived, so it didn't matter if others didn't come, since it wouldn't be her loss anyway.
He raised his hand to ask Chuntao to go downstairs and call for help, but there was another noise at the door.
"My dear, am I late?" The voice was that of Concubine Lin.
As soon as she came in, she saw groups of palace maids and eunuchs sitting below, and some vague figures above. She walked upstairs and saw that the emperor was there.
"I'm sorry for being late, Your Majesty!" Although she said this, there was no fear on her face.
"Nothing, just come and sit down."
"My dear, where is my seat?" Concubine Lin saw that except for the seats for the emperor and the queen, the seats in the second row behind her were occupied by the princes.
She couldn't sit behind the princes, could she?
Xia Qingqing knew that Concubine Lin was arrogant and had a bad temper. In fact, there were still a few seats available in the first row, but Xia Zhao and the others did not plan to sit next to her because they really did not dare.
There are seats on both sides of Xia Xuan and the Queen. Normally, these two seats cannot be sat on, but today Xia Qingqing is in charge and can do whatever she wants.
"You can sit anywhere you want. You can sit here or here." Xia Qingqing pointed to the seat next to Xia Xuan and the seat next to the queen.
When Concubine Lin saw this, she looked at the seat next to the Queen, curled her lips, turned around and sat next to Xia Xuan.
Xia Xuan had never experienced such a position arrangement, but thinking that it was arranged by Xia Qingqing, he put away his dissatisfaction.
The Queen did not have any other emotions, but when she heard Concubine Lin calling Xia Qingqing, she felt strange. When did they become so familiar with each other?
And you also called Xiao Qingqing?
No one else noticed the title of Concubine Lin. The banquet was about to begin, and they all held their breath and looked at the stage below.
